Question

which of the following is a consequence of advances in agriculture technology?
a. pollution decreases.
b. production of food decreases because advanced technology is expensive.
c. more water is used per person.
d. production of food increases, which can help feed the worlds hungry.

Explanation:

Advances in agriculture technology generally aim to increase food production. Option A is incorrect as some agricultural technologies (e.g., use of certain fertilizers) can contribute to pollution. Option B is wrong because advanced technology is often used to increase production, not decrease it. Option C is not a direct consequence of agricultural technology advances. Option D is correct as better seeds, irrigation methods, and farming equipment (all part of agricultural technology) lead to higher food production which can help address hunger.

Answer:

D. Production of food increases, which can help feed the world’s hungry.
